PHODO OUT FOR FIVE WEEKS

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets forward, Maxwell Gasten Phodo, will not be available for five weeks after sustaining an injury during the team's 1-1 draw against Dedza Dynamos in their league opener last weekend.

Phodo was heavily tackled on the 25th minute of the game and was stretched off with the goal scorer of the match, Ephraim Kondowe replacing him in the match.

Following his injury, the team's Coach, Callisto Pasuwa was left fuming as he blamed the referees for not protecting his players.

"One thing I will talk about officiation. What they are doing is not fair and each and every game I keep on complaining I think they have to be professional for the goodness of our game, look today, I have lost another player and even no card was given but if it was us a card could have come out," spoke Pasuwa.

Meanwhile, the former Silver Strikers forward has been reported to miss five games due to the injury.

"PHODO HAS BEEN SCORING BUT OFFSIDE" - PASUWA

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Head coach, Callisto Pasuwa, says Maxwell Gasten Phodo, has the quality to be used when playing international games saying he is a very good player.

Pasuwa said this after the star netted twice to seal a 0-2 win against FC Dragon in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea and said he has been trusting him that he would perform one day.

"A boy whom I have been trusting, he has been having pressure where people can be saying the boys is not scoring but remember I said these are boys I said when playing against international teams, they can lead attacks when playing with one boy upfront." Said Pasuwa.

He further added that the player had got incredible talent which makes him exceptional and useful for teams upfront and said he has been scoring goals which unfortunately were offside.

Despite an impressive outing in the continental showpiece, Phodo has struggled to score on local scene as he has no goal in the TNM Super league.
